Country will be punished for allowing abortion

EDITOR: While many are hopeful as President Trump strives to "make America great again,” there are also many who were hopeful of President Obama's "fundamentally transforming" of America. Both presidents obviously believe their way represents a bright future. Both are wrong. Turning from the moral depravity that brings God’s judgment is the only possible way America will survive, let alone be transformed into anything good or great.

Scripture says abortion and such evils as homosexuality and transgenderism are grossly sinful things to God that pollute a land, a kind of pollution that has caused and will cause Him to destroy nations. While Obama’s government proudly promoted these things that are hateful to God, Trump’s government and Republicans seem more interested in economics than in rooting out such wickedness.

Our greatest evil – 60 million discarded, aborted babies – cries out to God for justice. He will avenge them. How and when He does are the only questions. While He is merciful and gracious toward repentant sinners, as Christians know, and toward nations that turn from their evil ways, His patience has a limit. Perhaps it is already too late.

In his second inaugural address, President Lincoln strongly implied that the Civil War was God’s judgment on America for the national evil of slavery. How much greater a calamity will we see when God repays America for 60 million dead, discarded children?
